As long as your filesystems are still readable, you can use a more
comfortable tool:

mount /dev/wd0a /mnt
mount /dev/wd0d /mnt/var
mount /dev/wd0e /mnt/usr
/mnt/usr/sbin/chroot /mnt
vi (or mg) /etc/fstab

you could possibly even just copy your fstab from your freshly mounted
/var (/var/backups/etc_fstab.*)

GDB has a 'break' feature; why doesn't it have 'fix' too?
